Came across first cabin Niseko, it’s like a capsule hotel

If guys doesn't matter. Think of it like army.

But i will bring my important documents into the bathroom. Like passport and cash. If your sleeping area is shared.

toilet normally no queue. shower depends. hot bath is communal........

i remember they give headphones but cant confirm.......

Can I hear the surrounding sound?
Because it is a curtain divider, there are times when you may hear the surrounding sounds. We offer free earplugs at the reception.* *

How do I watch TV?
With headphones or earphones, you can watch them around without hesitation.

My wife and I had 3 ski trips with shared bathroom ryokan. It's not that bad actually, the only real inconvenience is if you want to PPPMTL then might be a bit tricky to clean up. But since you are going ski'ing then unlikely to have that issue unless you so strong can ski whole day and still 2nd round at night 🤭

Other than that the only annoyance is that these ryokans normally the corridors are colder temperature than your room, so when wanna go brush teeth or take a pee then might need to put on jacket.

I booked the first cabin kyoto karasuma for my upcoming trip to kyoto. Going with the first class cabin though instead of business class. not soundproof, read that they issue earpiece for tv (not headphones). there's even a video in youtube showing the sound of someone snoring at night

I actually stay here for 2 night in their superior twin room.
Its like a actual room instead of capsule.
The superior twin room has hand wash inside, but toilet and bath is outside.
I believe their superior twin room and family room share the same bath and toilet and not with their capsule.
I hardly see anyone inside their bathroom or toilet when i was there.
They have free bus from Kutchan station to their hotel and also towards grand hirafu. Just a few steps outside is a family mart shop

My room is not the capsule one and has 1 window at the bed head area.
Didnt hear much noise and have no problem in sleeping.
Plus most of us go to niseko during winter, so i dont think u will feel warm when u sleeping.

stayed in cabin type hostel in tokyo and kyoto, overall its ok, mixed dorm, shared bathroom has 3 for females and 2 for males.

its good for backpackers and sometimes hotel staff arrange small parties for guest to mix ard and share advice and stories. khaosan grp hostels not bad and reasonable priced.

hostel
is a dorm style (same or mixed gender) and got shower facilities for different gender. in the bathroom got basic stuff like shared slippers and hair dryer. may not provide or charge u for shampoo and body lotion

You worry unnecessarily. There are screens/doors depending on what you've booked so there's privacy. There's lockers so there's security. No one will take your stuff.
